Evaluation of FCDO’s COVID-19 Cash Transfer in Kenya (Research Summary)

The main objective of this evaluation was to determine whether, and to what extent, the emergency COVID-19 CT has had a positive effect on its target population in informal urban settlements. The evaluation also provides an assessment of the implementation parameters and mechanisms adopted as part of the design and delivery of the COVID-19 CT. The evaluation has been structured around two components—an impact evaluation and a process review—and draws on multiple research methods through a mixed methods research framework: A quantitative research study using a remote quantitative three-wave panel survey; a qualitative research study using in-depth beneficiary interviews at midline and endline; and a process review based on interviews with national- and county-level stakeholders, and a self-administered survey with NGO partners.
